Quote from Bargainscout :
This computer update is going to drive me crazy. I bought 6 of the same type/formula Pantene shampoo. I gave the clerk six $2 coupons. Yet the receipt groups the shampoo into sets of 2 and applies one $2 coupon to each set. It's as if the other 3 coupons disappeared even though I saw them on the screen. However, the final total gives full credit for the 6 coupons. And how did they come up with the refund values of $2.12? [I've attached a copy of my receipt.]

I guess it was a good thing that I was pressed for time and didn't study my receipt at the store. I would have been freaked about my "missing" coupons!

Good Grief! Now I have to use extra brain cells to figure things out. Smilie
Your pdf won't open for me. I'd love to see this receipt. I'll try in a bit. None of mine grouped together last night.

I can't see the receipt, but I'll take a stab at the refund value for you.

3 x 3.79 = $11.37
minus $5 giftcard = $6.37
$6.37 divided by 3 = $2.12

Confused maybe?

I think attachment can now be opened.

NCMommy--I think you are right about the refund value. Since they grouped them into 2's, I had "2" on the brain and was using that as the dividing factor.

It may be a 3 stamper. If I was you I'd run home every day to look for it, it's so good.

Pretzels-same to you, look out

Waiting for baby to be ready to be fed, then going to run to grocery store hopefully. Town is in sort of lockdown mode right now, gunman on the loose, some guy robbed convenience store. Mind you I am in a small town in middle of nowhere with less than 10 stores in the center of our small town. Hard to have it hit home.

Yup we are full up on crazy here as Ro's location says. Not going anywhere. Alarm is set. Going to be on pins and needles when hubby goes to work at 3am though. Oh well. Happens everywhere these days I guess. Until the economy is better, theivery will be rampant.

Sad, but true. Thievery will most likely be rampant until the economy is better. I don't know how we would make it without Target and coupons!!

On a more positive note.......yay! Today was my last day of school!! I am so, so happy. Almost three whole months to devote to my kids, my husband, and of course Target! I am excited! I wanted to go tonight to celebrate,but I am exhausted. I guess I will wait til tomorrow to celebrate. Smilie
I am so sad to hear that the Perfect 10 coupons beep. I try to stay clear of beeps and I printed tons of these coupons at school today.

PS-does anyone think it's a good idea to add to wiki where it says not to ask about spicy, not to ask about CWS. So then if anyone asks about it, we send them to # whatever in wiki.

?
"CWS" is a current legit coupon and does have a legit purpose. I gave one to my roommate who used it on the sale white strips just yesterday. Its a decent deal if you buy those anyways. Some people just honestly are asking, and don't mean to be asking about any creative use..or even know that when someone is mentioning it, that they may be referring to using it in a way that is frowned about on SD.
Heck I didn't even know the disclaimer in the beginning was referring to "spicy" for the longest time until i picked up on everyone hinting and joking about it, and then it was like this big inside joke that I could never know.

Quote from Jen2882 :

Here's another question....has anyone ever had someone ask for their coupons BACK?? This girl I work with always gives me her inserts after she gives me the q's she wants and I'm extremely grateful for that. But i was showing another girl at work a cg lip gloss i got at wag's and she was like oh, I like that. I'm gonna need my cg coupons back. I was just like uhhhh ok. I mean they were hers to begin with I just thought it was wierd...it was like a week after she gave me the cg coupons.
I have a friend who wants things back after she gives them to me, so I dont take them anymore. She is quick to give things away. I just tell her to hold onto it in case she wants it later, so she's not sorry she gave it away. It's probably not a good idea to "flaunt" Stick Out Tongue your deals around work anymore so your coworker doesnt start to feel like she is missing out. BUt yeah, it sucks that she gave it away and now regrets it.

Quote from Pretzels :
Okay - I have another question:

Is it just kosher to say thanks and repped in another post or can you just rep the person? I get so annoyed when all the post says is "thanks and repped". Does everyone need to know that you repped the person?
hha I thought that too. I never post that I repped someone I just hope that they see it before others rep them and your rep is no longer showing. (can you adjust the settings so more then just the past 5 reps show?) But sometimes Im on such a mission for information, I forget to rep...so it's a good reminder. Heck I wouldn't even know what repping is, if it wasn't for others posting "thanks, repped"

Wow, you're done with school early. You must start early too then. Our kids' last day is June 4th.
Which perfect 10 q are you referring to beeping? The $5 etq or $2 mq printables haven't beeped for me. Confused
